Nagpur: Amid the negativity of coronavirus, self love is finding its way back into peoples’ life, especially in terms of self care, beauty routine and grooming.
Though women, teenage girls and men are frustrated that salons and beauty parlours are shut due to the lockdown, they are revisiting and incorporating the tips and therapy learnt from their mothers and grandmothers to keep their beauty routine alive and kicking.
For law student Dimple Anandani, following a homemade beauty routine amid the lockdown is more about self care and peace. She feels one should not strain about the shutdown of beauty stores and parlours but instead, go to the kitchen and explore remedies. “I’m sure most of the citizens are finding it difficult but I am following all the home remedies which are working wonders for my grooming and self care. I make my scrubs with sugar, coffee and oatmeal. I feel the creation of beauty is an art.” she said.
People are now grounded at home, which gives them plenty of time to experiment and take care of themselves. Beautician Jasmini Gimi, who runs a salon, stressed on the idea of self care and self love during such times and shared some tips that can come handy.
“A little stress-busting beauty session is the need of the hour. One must try the tips their grandmothers and mothers recommended such as oiling hair, using wax strips for hair growth, eye shadows as temporary hair colour and making different face packs and masks using kitchen ingredients,” she said.
Renuka Jhamtani, a make-up artist and blogger, couldn’t agree any better. “As bushy eyebrows and facial hair are annoying, one can use tweezers to fix them. I love to use ice cubes, homemade mask, face and lip scrubs made of sugar, lemon, honey, egg whites, rose water etc,” she said.
Not only women, men, too, are equally affected. The lockdown gave businessman Rahul Bhojwani an opportunity to have a shave after two years and also experiment a bit with his beard. “It was becoming very difficult to adjust to life without a salon. Initially, I couldn’t do without it, but later, I tried a new style by trimming my beard. I have the luxury of experimenting as one doesn’t have to go out for work. One also gets to try various combinations and styles,” he said.
Student Vishal Khatri is not far behind. “Because of my uni-brow, I used to regularly go to salons. But now that I am at home, it has become bushy. I’m trying facial hair trimmers and tweezers, but not as well as the salons.” he said.
There’s a mother, who tried the experimental scissors to good effect. “I cut my daughter’s hair at home. She is just four. Her long curly locks were falling on her eyes and so, I trimmed her hair nicely and she enjoyed it too,” she said.
